Master’s Program Faculty

Outliers, Innovators, Leaders: Welcome

A 15-month program designed for working professionals. Courses are led by UT Austin’s top faculty and cover topics such as leadership, communication, ethics, change management, and decision-making.

Below are profiles of faculty who are involved with HDO’s Master’s Program.
